Leonor, between a lonely goodbye and an expected meeting

Eleanor of Bourbon has resolved all doubts about his return to Wales. The princess is now back at the boarding school and is ready to face her second and final year. There she is reunited with her “mysterious friend”, none other than the young man who was with her in Spain at Easter, wearing a UWC sweatshirt, accompanying her on her maternal grandmother’s birthday. He has a demanding course ahead of him that will force him to make his training a priority beyond his obligations to the Spanish crown.

One of the big doubts before Leonor took flight was whether there would be an official goodbye to her parents and sister. It hasn’t been. The difference from last year Don Felipe, Doña Letizia and the Infanta Sofia did not go to the airport Adolfo Suárez- Madrid Barajas bids farewell to the future queen. Perhaps because it is not a novelty or because they are going to see her in a few months, but the truth is that the eldest daughter of the monarch has come alone with her security team.

Leonor took a regular flight at Madrid airport that took her to British Heathrow airport. While there are direct flights to Cardiff, there are a wider range of timetables to London. The journey takes about two and a half hours, which can be up to three. From there, she took an official UWC bus that took her to the boarding school. Ahead of him is a weekend in preparation for the new race that starts next Monday, August 29.

The arrival of the heiress in Wales means that she will meet again the young man who was with her in Madrid to celebrate Paloma Rocasolano’s birthday. From the pen of authorized voices in Casa Real like Pilar Eyre, it was pointed out that it was her first official boyfriend. However, several months have passed and nothing more has been heard from him. Leonor spent the summer in Majorca and on private holidays with her parents with no evidence of the above. Everything seemed to indicate that she was someone important to her since she traveled with the royal family to the Madrid residence of Queen Letizia’s sister, Telma Ortiz. Little or nothing has been heard of him, other than the fact that He holds dual citizenship, Brazilian and American, has curly hair behind his ears and a beard, and is two years older. than his alleged partner.

Another question that arose over Eleanor’s return to Wales was whether official images of the princess would be produced at the castle where the UWC is located. That was something that did happen in 2021, but it has all the signs that it won’t this time around. The Welsh Study Center, together with the Royal Household, have made the decision to protect the image of the princess and not show it during the course. Hermeticism was the dominant trend in the first year of the baccalaureate.

Leonor is facing a decisive year in her academic career and she is aiming for the good grades she is used to. As was the case in the first course, he will do several breaks to travel to Spain and reunite with his family. Another one is from December 9 to January 5, when the princess will enjoy her Christmas vacation. April 20 to May 21 will be the most demanding dates as it is the exam period.

Once registered and with the International Baccalaureate in her pocket, Felipe and Letizia will have to make an important decision with her. As mandated by the constitution, the eldest daughter of the kings must assume command of the armed forces, including the army, air force, and navy, when ascending the throne and for this she needs the corresponding military training.
